A-B... "E" is for "Equinox"...


The story for this one will be familiar with viewers of the Evil Dead movies... (Including the New version that is released today)
This "no-budget" student film  Is about 4 young people in the woods where they discover an old house and the "Book of Evil"... then come the demonic forces...
Back in 1967 a college student (Dennis Muren) made a film .. . For about $6,500.oo ... This was later to become the 1970 cult-classic "Equinox"...
This "student film was taken up by a film-editor turned Director, (Woods) , Who also plays the "evil cop" in the movie.... With stop-motion creatures... and really 'bad acting"...
                                    Have a look at some of this film ... and see what you think...
                                                       Very similar storyline over-all...

    This movie appealed to us as a child... the "Book" and the wonderful demonic creatures... I can see why this story influenced Sam Rami to make an updated version of this story in his film "Evil Dead"... and with the new "Evil Dead" in theaters today... we thought this to be appropriate for the post for the letter "E"....
